Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 951 Think less and think more

   For the first time in such a long time, Liu Xie happily walked out of the Chongde Hall, without disgusting Xiliang soldiers, and without looking at the disgusting faces of Li Jue and Guo Si.

"...The emeralds are full of fire, shining with beauty. Hanging leaves and thorns, and the night light is here. So Xuan Chi is buckled and built, jade steps are red in the courtyard, the tinsel is colorful, Lin Min is green, coral and green trees, Zhou A is born. The red roses are rustling, and the beautiful groups are colorful..." Liu Xie walked slowly, while humming softly, appearing to be in a very good mood.

  Only those who have lost their freedom realize how precious freedom is.

   "Ha..." Liu Xie suddenly stopped while walking, and turned his head halfway to look at the treetops on one side.

  The spring flowers have basically come to an end, but there are still some remaining on the branches, and among the green trees and red flowers, two or three colorful butterflies are dancing.

  Xiao Huangmen, who was serving beside Liu Xie, followed Liu Xie's eyes and said softly: "Your Majesty...do you want your servant to catch him?"

   Liu Xie followed the butterfly up and down, then slowly shook his head and said, "No... let's go... let it stay here..."

   But Liu Xie's good mood didn't last long, only halfway through the walk, Xiao Huangmen came to report, saying that it was Xun You, the attendant, who asked to see him.

  Strictly speaking, being a servant is not a serious official position, but just an added official.

"Entering and exiting the forbidden center, the consultant responds, and the position is always in attendance", in fact, it is the consultant next to the emperor. Of course, this consultant can be used as the emperor's close minister in charge of Chengyu Fuwu, or even the utensils including "tiger son". Participating in the court meeting, the most important thing is that the attendant can enter and leave the palace city, and often live by the king's side.

  Servant Xun You, under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, visited Liu Xie and reported: "Your Majesty... General Fei, who conquered the west, has returned to the north..."

   "Why?" Liu Xie was a little surprised, but also a little puzzled.

  Xun You was silent for a moment, and said: "General Zhengxi said that there are many changes in Xianbei in the north, and terrorist attacks are imminent. In addition, Chang'an is initially settled, and there are virtuous ministers such as Tai Changzhong to assist, so I return to the north..."

  Liu Xie asked: "What can you say about Taichang?"

  Xun You shook his head.

   It's not that Zhong Shao has no opinion, but this opinion, even Xun You finds it a bit inconceivable. According to Chong Shao's intention, he wanted Fei Qian to go after Li Jue and other remaining Xiliang soldiers, but Zhong Shao wanted Fei Qian to lead his own soldiers, not to let him lead the soldiers in Chang'an. Xiliang surrendered troops or Chang'an Forbidden Army.

According to what Zhong Shao said, it seems to be reasonable, because Xiliang's soldiers are not determined, and there will inevitably be some unexpected problems when they go to the battlefield suddenly. Disrupted organization, in addition to guarding the palace and the city, and guarding and governing these Xiliang soldiers, so it is also impossible to draw out...

   These are of course the truth, and they are also the current problems in Chang'an City, but it does not mean that the matter cannot be resolved, or that nothing can be done.

  It is often said that men will automatically lower their IQ in two things, one is beauty, and the other is money. In fact, these two aspects are related to one thing, and that is power.

When Wang Yun was in power, Zhong Shao was very dissatisfied with Wang Yun's behavior, but now when he started to get in touch with the power core of the Han Dynasty and started to take charge of Shangshutai, he fell into the same vicious circle of power control as Wang Yun .

   Isn’t Zhong Shao smart?

   Isn’t Ma Yu knowledgeable?

   Isn't Liu Fan alert?

  Neither, but the biggest drawback of the alliance is exposed. When one or a few people in the alliance express strong opposition to a certain matter, it is often difficult for the rest of the people to implement it even if they have correct opinions.

Everyone has dreams and hopes, and has the ambition to do what they want when they are what they are, and even see some people doing something, and they will express emotion, or even make a long speech, to despise these things human intelligence and behavior.

  But when it was really my turn, I was often caught blind.

   Otherwise, so many people in later generations would not hope to burn a few sticks of incense or dig a few holes after receiving black money, so that they could avoid the limelight and avoid disasters. Are those people stupid? On the contrary, these people can sit in that position, can collect a lot of wealth, and their IQ or EQ is often much higher than that of ordinary people.

As a necessary leader of an alliance, even the leader of the entire Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty is relatively young, and the most important thing is that during these two or three years, he was basically out of semi-clustrophobia. Under the current state, although the skills in observing words and expressions have improved, the ability to govern the country and balance power is basically zero growth...

Xun You bowed and said: "Your Majesty...Although the capital is settled, the three assistants are not stable, and the generals are not in harmony. It is not a good omen...The world hopes for governance, like hunger and thirst. General Xi’s return to the north is somewhat…”

Onlookers can tell that Xun You did not participate in this gluttonous feast of promotion and promotion, so he has a relatively clear understanding of the current situation. Although the city has been generally controlled, the Xiliang soldiers outside the city may not be Can be as vulnerable as Chong Shao thinks.

  Xia Mou is not wrong to be a veteran, nor is it wrong to be one of the eight captains of Xiyuan who once served as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but it does not mean that he will definitely gain a decisive advantage on the battlefield.

  Veteranship can only mean that you have certain experience, but it cannot fully represent your personal ability.

So Xun You felt that at least someone with more actual combat experience, at least one who had victorious results against the Xiliang soldiers, would be relatively safer in Chang'an, so he, when Zhong Shao and others could not listen to their suggestions, When he came to Weiyang Palace, he hoped that through Liu Xie, Fei Qian could stay.

But if you want Fei Qian to stay, it will inevitably affect the authority and interests of Chong Shao, Liu Fan, Ma Yu, and Xia Mou, so only Liu Xie showed a tough stance and carried out in the name of the emperor. There is also a way to coordinate and distribute the edict...

  Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, and said a little at a loss: "Xunqing, then... what should I do?"

  Xun You lowered his head, remained silent for a while, and said: "This matter...Your Majesty must decide the world, and I dare not say more..." Xun You still sighed in his heart, knowing that this meager hope was still unlikely to be realized.

   Xun You can inform Liu Xie of the current situation, this is his duty. It has been a custom since the founding of the Han Dynasty for the emperor to learn about the state, the court, and even the countryside from his servants, so there is nothing wrong with Xun You telling Liu Xie about these things, but making decisions for Liu Xie, such a thing It's big or small...

  Not to mention the age at which Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, that kind of means and courage are simply the template for a hero in the world.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, who grew up among the people, had no confidants on the left and right, no power in the palace, and then the Huo Guang clan, who was able to control the world step by step, slowly disintegrated, and finally turned their hands into clouds and hands into rain. Together with Huo Guang, they killed nearly a thousand families in one go.

  In the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, there were also some ruthless characters, but can the Liu Xie in front of me take up this responsibility...

   Regarding this question, anyway, Fei Qian feels that Liu Xie is not yet a master of talents.

The evacuation of Chang'an was Fei Qian's previous plan. No matter whether he got Guo Si's head or not, he would not stay in Chang'an for a long time. Of course, after killing Guo Si, the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an basically belonged to the army without a leader. It is not surprising that the state was pushed by the anti-Xiliang alliance.

   But what is interesting is that Zhong Shao actually gave Fei Qian the title of General Zhengxi...

  Zhengzhen Ping'an, the general of the Quartet.

The general who recruited characters is ranked first in the ranks of the generals of the four directions, and his position is not too different from that of Jiuqing. Perhaps it is because Fei Qian was worshiped by Guang Luxun before. Although Fei Qian is not enough, there is more or less one Forceful.

  However, Feng Feiqian, as General Zhengxi, Zhong Shao and others' intentions are also very subtle.

   General Zhengxi was first established when Liu Xiu led troops to conquer the Red Eyebrow Army, and it has been used ever since.

The Red Eyebrow Army originally raised troops near Mount Tai in Yanzhou, and then continued to develop. It continued to grow in Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and finally fought against Wang Mang's imperial army, and then entered Guanzhong. The two factions in the family struggle...

   Under such circumstances, Liu Xiu led the troops in Jizhou and some Yuzhou, and finally fought a decisive battle with the Red Eyebrow Army and won the final victory. General Zhengxi was the vanguard.

  Therefore, since General Zhengxi, he has been guarding the Guanzhong area and commanding Yongliang. Under normal circumstances, he also built government offices in Chang'an.

  So in fact, Zhong Shao and others conspired to give Fei Qian such an official position. In fact, they not only hoped to keep Fei Qian in Chang'an, but also hoped to completely push Fei Qian to the opposite side of people like Xiliang...

  Just as Feiqian crossed the Wei River and started heading towards Pinyang, a burst of smoke and dust suddenly rose from behind, as if a few riders had rushed over from the direction of Chang'an.

  The person who came was Xun You.

   "Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak?" Xun You said with a dusty face and cupped his hands towards Fei Qiangong.

Fei Qian recognized that this was the middle-aged man who was saluting to him in the Chongde Hall that day, so he got off his horse, walked along the side of the road with Xun You, and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, I don't know what to say...how should I call it? What's the point here?"

   "My lord, Xun You, whose name is Gongda, serves as a servant, and I come here by the emperor's order..." Xun You said, cupping his hands.

  Xun You?

   Fei Qian couldn't help but glance sideways, and he actually looked older than Xun Chen. But Xun You is known as the core figure in the Battle of Guandu, and now he is not on Cao Cao's side?

So to say…

   "Your Majesty?" Xun You was suddenly startled for no reason.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of something about merging the north..." Fei Qian withdrew his divergent thinking. At this time, there is still some time before Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke up. It is hard to say whether the battle of Guandu will still happen now. It would be too much to take any special measures against Xun You.

  Xun You thought that Fei Qian was thinking about the Xianbei in the north, so he nodded understandingly, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. It turned out to be the case, no wonder he felt that there was a sense of conquest...

  Xun You pondered for a while, then solemnly said to Fei Qian: "Now that the famous towns of the kings and lords are merged to the north, it is like a grand Nanzhong, and it is indeed a blessing for the country."

  Nan Zhong and Xuan Yun, haha.

  Nan Zhong was King Zhou Xuan's general who attacked the surrounding Hu Yi.

King Zhou Xuan was enthroned at a young age, and King Zhou Li before King Zhou Xuan was a well-known muddled and strange king in history. Then there was a riot among the people of the country, and there was the earliest Zhou Zhao Republic, and the beginning of Chinese history. It was at that time that Nan Zhong went to garrison the frontier...

   King Xuan of Zhou was called King Xuan Zhongxing during the period of the Zhou Dynasty, but in fact it was the beginning of the fall of the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty, and even exposed the weakness of the ruling class, slipping from the sacred sky to the ground...

  So if you know this period of history, you will understand Xun You's meaning, but if you don't know or don't understand, you will basically be caught blind.

   Saying good things when meeting each other is definitely not a good thing. Xun You is testing, but it also has a little bit of a reminder.

  It was like this in the Han Dynasty. Could it be that Fei Qian can talk about you, what are you talking about, can you be more direct? Or can Fei Qian not adapt to the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but expect this society to adapt to himself?

  Even in later generations, there is no literati habit of sticking to words, is it true that everyone talks to each other and is outspoken? Will the matter of Hong Xing's affair with Lao Wang next door be told to the whole world in an open and aboveboard manner? The boss is going to put on shoes for a certain subordinate, will he tell them in front of his face? With a sign that I am outspoken, can I expect others to be outspoken too?

Therefore, Fei Qian waved his hand and said: "Government is over-reputed, defending the land for the country is a duty, it's not worth mentioning, how dare you compare with Nan Zhong? Now Your Majesty is very intelligent, and you have the virtuous ministers to assist you, naturally The world is about to prosper."

  Xun You nodded silently, and then said: "I came here this time by order of His Majesty..."

  Xun You beckoned back, and immediately a entourage who followed him came forward holding a long kit, and then untied the kit, revealing a long sword inside.

  Xun You held up the long sword with both hands high, and said to Fei Qian: "Your Majesty has learned that the emperor will return to the north, so he specially bestows this sword to strengthen the majesty of the emperor."

   Fei Qian took a look, a little puzzled.

Although the Han Dynasty already had the Shangfang sword, but now the Shangfang sword does not represent the right to act arbitrarily and the power to cut first and then play. It is just a relatively high-end and high-grade imperial gift. In the paragraph, the concept of the great authority of the true Shangfang sword was officially started in the Ming Dynasty, and a grand awarding ceremony had to be held to have the special halo bonus of beating the king's injustice and the minister's disloyalty.

  So this sword must have another meaning...
